You had a really difficult day at work. You are hoping that once you get home, your troubles will be left behind. Yet even so, your spouse barely speaks to you. Then you learn that your parents are unwell, and it feels as though everything has struck you at the same time. You cannot change what happened during the day, but you can choose how much of it you carry into tomorrow.
This is where the power of thinking comes in. When life seems to be beyond our control, there may be little we can do to alter things. What we can do is shift how we think about the entire situation and bring back a sense of balance, focus, and control.
